Stilton Reviews

I spent some time working on the cheese counter when I was at Tesco, it is with some delight that I revisit this wonderful cheese and provide a little review for it to try and persuade some non converts that it is a fine cheese for any occasion. The texture can best be described as crumbly and pliable. A good stilton should have a ...  Read the complete review

My tastes in cheese have changed quite significantly over the years, when I was young I did not eat cheese at all unless it was melted on toast or part of a pizza. I was not even a fan of the childhood favourite Dairy Lee until I attained my tenth year or more however over the years I have found myself eating a lot more cheese and with the ...  Read the complete review

The thought of eating mouldy cheese, or mouldy anything for that fact, is enough to put most of us off - can you imagine rooting through the fridge, finding something lurking at the back with a furry blue/green coat attached to it, and then presenting it to your guests as a final course at a dinner party? Nope, me neither - into the bin it would ...  Read the complete review

At around £5.50 a kilo, Blue Stilton is not the cheapest British cheese available. It has a creamy and crumbly texture and a sharp, biting taste. You could almost say that this cheese bites back. The veins are produced by making holes in the maturing cheeses into which harmless bacteria are introduced. My son who is a cheese addict ...  Read the complete review

Blue Stilton is undoubtedly one of England's best ever "inventions", it's one of the ultimate cheeses and has a strong taste that you can savour. The story of this cheese is quite interesting, it dates back to the mid 16th century when an inn owner from Stilton in Cambridgeshire visited a farm near Melton Mowbray where he came into ...  Read the complete review

My Mother told me that before the 1st World War she saw her father take the 'lid' off the Stilton cheese (this was the sliced off top of the round of Stilton). Port had been added to the cheese to preserve it, but under the lid there were pure white maggots crawling around. She watched her father just scoop them up with the Stilton cheese scoop and swallow them with a glass of port.

I bought my Stilton from my Tesco metro and much to my pleasant surprise it was only £1.24 for a rather large 228g block. I went for the English blue Stilton. A classic for the cheese board. THE PACKAGE The cheese came in a triangular plastic container with the Tesco logo stamped on it. Its cover is packed with useful ...  Read the complete review

Blue Stilton…The king of British cheeses! There’s nothing like a soft, smelly slab of stilton on a bit of crusty bread. I used to abhor blue cheese, but my palate has become more refined over the years and I’m now an advocate of the ‘smellier the better’ approach! Stilton is one of my favourite cheeses, just edging ...  Read the complete review

For the purposes of this opinion I should be grateful if you would pop a CD into your player of traditional Greek bazouki players. Those of you who are without benefit of such an album should hum along while you read or ask a member of the family or next-door neighbour to sing to you for the duration. The reason for this strange ...  Read the complete review

What makes a cheese great, it's not simply how good it tastes but rather like a fine wine it's the subtlety and depth of flavour that reflects the amount of care and time that has been spent in making it. In this regard Stilton fit the bill. >>>>A BRIEF HISTORY<<<< Stilton was first produced in the 18th ...  Read the complete review

It was a hot Summer: July 1976: A drought had been officially declared, and although we needed the holiday visitors here in West Dorset, in order to boost the local businesses and maintain employment, they were using our precious water supplies, and there was a sense of siege in the area. This was the same year as the famous Cod Wars in the North ...  Read the complete review

I'll start by apologising because cheese is my addiction and like any other addiction it can make you behave in a manner totally out of your control. Some days are better than others, some days I can control it, but some days the cravings are too much and my behaviour becomes erratic until there's no helping it and I overdose, ...  Read the complete review

All of our family enjoy cheese and so if we buy any unusual cheeses they are normally eaten up pretty quick. By the time I get to the fridge to enjoy a piece of cheese and some fresh crusty bread there is normally only some mild cheddar left behind. But if I want to ensure that there will be a piece of decent cheese for me to eat then all ...  Read the complete review

The only smelly thing to make your mouth water. The best cheese by far is Blue Stilton. Ok maybe ‘by far’ is a bit of an exaggeration. A close second is Danish Blue. But Blue Stilton you see takes the biscuit, it’s smoother and creamier than you would expect. As a boy I used to hate the smell of the Stilton my uncle ...  Read the complete review

It is slightly off white and quite ...  Read the complete review
